SUBCODE

Indexed - yes
Format - char(5)
May be null? no

A 5 digit number categorizing the transaction. The first 3-digits may represent a type of transaction (e.g., 010 = tuition). In the case of tuition, general fee and tech fee subcodes, the last 2 digits represent the student’s division. This convention applies to tuition and general fees. Subcodes are commonly grouped as follows:

0xxxx = Tuition, Acceptance Fees, General Fees 
     Special Fees & Other
1xxxx = Housing/Fraternities
2xxxx = Dining
3xxxx = Fees (schools, off-campus)
4xxxx = Student deposits
5xxxx = Refunds, Telephone, Damages, Short Term Loans & Other
6xxxx = Loans, Scholarships, Fac/Staff, RA, TA, 
          RF & and dept awards
7xxxx = Temporary Credits, Outside agencies
8xxxx = Outside programs
9xxxx = Payments, Voided refunds

TERM

Indexed - no
Format - char(5)
May be null? yes

The SRS term corresponding to the BRS_Term. Penn divides the academic year into 3 terms or semesters: Fall, Spring, and Summer. Terms are designated by the 4-digit calendar year, followed by a term code. The Spring term code is A, the Summer term code is B, and the Fall term code is C. Since the BRS_Term is in TYY format (where the first digit represents the term, and the second two digits the calendar year), the BRS_Term values of 1 through 4 (1=Fall, 2=Spring, 3=Summer1, 4=Summer2) are translated to the appropriate letter term, and the 2-digit year is converted to a 4-digit format.

Example: 2003C means Fall 2003 (corresponds to BRS_Term 103), 2003A means Spring 2003 (corresponds to BRS_Term 203), 2003B means Summer 2003 (correponds to BRS_Terms 303 and 403, representing Summer 1 and 2 sessions, respectively)

TERM_SESSION
